TAILIEUCHUNG - The Ubiquitous Triclosan A common antibacterial agent exposed

Incorporating relevant theoretical and empirical findings, this paper aims to identify and conceptualize the primary dimensions which influence the consumers‘ individual perception of luxury as a first step leading towards a scale to measure luxury value cross-culturally. According to Hassan and Katsanis (1994) and Tse et al. (1988), we suggest that the needs of luxury consumer segments cross national borders and that common structures in luxury value perception exist cross-culturally – even if the relative importance of the decision determinants may vary. Our multi-dimensional conceptualization, which encompasses financial, functional, individual, and social value components, may serve as a basis for. | The Ubiquitous Triclosan A common antibacterial agent exposed By Aviva Glaser Chemical Name 2 4 4 -Trichloro-2 -hydroxydiphenyl ether. CAS 3380-34-5. Other names Microban Irgasan DP-300 Lexol 300 Ster-Zac Cloxifenolum Biofresh There is a disinfectant showing up in hundreds of common consumer products that is raising serious cause for concern. The chemical triclosan is a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that in recent years has exploded onto the consumer market in a wide variety of antibacterial soaps deodorants toothpastes cosmetics fabrics plastics and other products. Studies have increasingly linked triclosan to a range of health and environmental effects from skin irritation allergy susceptibility bacterial and compounded antibiotic resistant and dioxin contamination to destruction of fragile aquatic ecosystems. Concerns about triclosan have even led some manufacturers such as Tom s of Maine to specifically state that their toothpaste products do not contain triclosan. According to the American Medical Association Despite their recent proliferation in consumer products the use of antimicrobial agents such as triclosan in consumer products has not been studied extensively. No data exist to support their efficacy when used in such products or any need for them. .it may be prudent to avoid the use of antimicrobial agents in consumer products. 2 Triclosan possesses mostly antibacterial properties but also some antifungal and antiviral properties. It is marketed under the trade name Microban when used in plastics and clothing and Biofresh when used in acrylic fibers. Triclosan is most often used to kill bacteria on the skin and other surfaces although it sometimes is used to preserve the product against deterioration due to Antibacterials are similar to antibiotics in that they both inhibit bacterial growth. But while the purpose of antibiotics is to cure disease the purpose of antibacterials are to prevent transmission of disease-causing
